Foody Friday - Fried Rice

Hi. Hey. Hello.

Another Foody Friday for you guys, and this one is one of my all time favourites to make, fried rice!! My boyfriends mother actually taught me how to make this, and I have adapted it to make it my own. Enjoy and give it a try yourself!!

                                                                                                                                   

                                                                                                                                   

Ingredients

- 1 cup Basmati Rice

- 4 Rashers Shortcut Bacon

- 2 Medium Carrots

- 1 cup of Peas

- 1 Small Can of Corn

- 2 Medium Eggs

- 2 Tablespoons of Kecap Manis

Serves: 4 | Preparation: 15 Minutes | Cooking time: 20 Minutes

                                                                                             

First of, you will want to strain corn and place in a small bowl with the peas, as they need to be added at the same time, then peel and slice carrots, and place into a different bowl with the bacon that you have diced.

Before you start on the filling, start cooking the rice in your preferred method. Put a medium pot/saucepan into the heat, and once hot, add the carrots and bacon. While they are cooking, beat 2 eggs together, and cook into an omelet, and then dice, to be added to the mix a little later.

Once the bacon and carrots are almost done, add the corn, peas and diced omelet, and heat for a few more minutes. Now, add your cooked rice and stir through some kecap manis to give it a flavour boost.

Your fried rice is now done! The filling only takes about 15 minute to cook, so time that with the cooking of your rice so everything is finished at the same time :)

                                                                                                                                   

And that is how you make my special fried rice! You can add heaps of other stuff to it, like nuts and beans, but I like it just the way it is :) I also like pairing it with a salmon steak or some chicken skewers.

Foody Friday - Spinich and Ricotta Agnolotti with Capsicum and Mushroom Sauce

Hi. Hey. Hello.

I'm back with another pasta dish for you guys! This one is super duper easy, and can be made with chicken or without, so very versatile. Hope you enjoy!! :)

                                                                                                                                   

                                                                                                                                   

Ingredients
- 1 Large Capsicum
- 250g Sliced Mushrooms
- 250ml Thick Cream
- 3 Teaspoons Tomato Paste

Serves: 4 | Preparation: 10 Minutes | Cooking Time: 20 Minutes
                                                                                                                                   

First things first I'm the realist, you will want to slice up all the capsicum, I like long strips, but you can chop them up into any size you prefer, and all of your mushrooms. Transfer both into a medium saucepan/pot, and cook until soft. Add the tomato paste and cream, stir through and simmer until it reduces a little, than your sauce is done!

Cook the pasta as stated on the packet, but I try to start cooking them when I add the cream to the sauce. Pro Tip: Break up the agnolotti before trying to tip them into the boiling water, otherwise you might get hot water everywhere when they all decide to stick together and fall into the pot (exhibit A below)

Once the sauce and pasta are done, pix them all together, and serve! I like to add a little bit of parmesan on top to give it a little kick, but that is totally optional.

                                                                                                                                   

There you have it, another relatively healthy pasta dish :) Like I said before, you can add some chicken into the dish if you want, but I really like it without. Thanks for reading and visiting my little place on the internet, comment if you want, and see you next time!!

Where I Went Wednesday - Eggless Dessert Cafe

Hi. Hey. Hello.

On Sunday, my friends and I wanted to go out and get some yummy treats, so we decided to go to Eggless Dessert Cafe because I have never been there before. Eggless is a dessert cafe that cook, as you guessed, without eggs as well as soy and completely vegan options. They change their menus every month so male sure you always get to try something new, with everything being made on-site from scratch. I got the Banana Madelines with Blueberries and Ice-Cream, and they were amazing!!! My friends got the Watermelon, Rosewater and Strawberry Tiramisu, a Fig and Chocolate Tart, and a Cheesecake (forgot the flavour). The atmosphere of the place is so inviting and warm, and the staff are some of the nicest people you will meet. Definitely would recommend and will definitely be going back there soon. Sorry for the dodgy pictures, they were taken on my phone because I forgot to bring my digital camera.

                                                                                                                                   

                                                                                                                                   

I hope you liked my little sh-peal on this amazing little place, and hopefully you go try some of this food soon!  Thanks for reading and visiting my little place on the internet, comment if you want, and see you next time!!
